Phillies 4 Pirates 3

Well, that was the type of loss we've kind of come to expect this year. It was pretty exciting to see Eldred hit another homer, the comeback we pieced together in the 6th to tie things up at three were nice, but Rick White sucked and blew our chances at victory, along with Mark Redman's inability to give us a quality start and Ryan Doumit's baserunning mistake. Not only that, but we lose the season series to the Phillies, 4-3. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by losses like this by August 21st, but it's still depressing. At least Brad Eldred is launching homers at an impressive rate. At least we've got that to look forward to.
